Answer:
They may be mentally ill and therefore unable to apply morality in a way that is generally accepted. They may not understand that what they are doing is bad - or there definition of good and bad does not follow the accepted norm.
They may be religious and follow rules or instructions that contradict the golden rule. As Steven Weinberg said “With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.”.
They may be acting under some duress. For example they may be forced to do something bad with the threat of something bad happening to them if they do not. A similar effect can occur when people are strongly indoctrinated with some idea - for example the effect that the Nazis had on the people of Germany.

Explanation:
By having Winterbourne first meet Randolph instead of Daisy, Henry James is able to establish some indirect inferences about Daisy. She has a younger brother, who is a bit impetuous, as the reader will find Daisy to be. He is a bit manipulative in that he approaches someone he has never met to ask a favor, "Will you give me a lump of sugar?" and with this he pushes his advantage and takes three cubes. This is also very much like his sister as she uses her feminine wiles to get Winterbourne to promise to take her to see the castle. So, in these things, James is able to introduce, in Randolph, some of the traits that the reader will later find in Daisy.
Ramdolph sybolizes the the patriotic fervor seen in many Americans, which the Europeans cannot seem to understand. In Randolph's eyes everything is better in America, 'I can't get any candy here—any American candy. American candy's the best candy," ""American men are the best." He says that even the moon is better in America, "You can't see anything here at night, except when there's a moon. In America there's always a moon!" This unrealistic view of his home country shows his unreserved love for America, but also tends to point towards the shortcomings of teh European countries and his dislike for them, in that they have nothing to compare to America, in Randolph's mind. This is, often, the way in which people see Americans, both proud and boastful, without a desire to understand other cultures.
The answer choices to this question are in the attached file. The effect of the word "surplice" is:
A. It reinforces the difference between the natural things the speaker holds dear and the rituals of the church.
- "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" is a poem by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) in which the speaker talks about keeping the Sabbath.
- When the speaker mentions the "surplice," the garment worn by the clergy, she is emphasizing the difference of her Sabbath to other people's Sabbath.
- The speaker prefers to stay at home, with her family and her garden. To her, staying at home is Heaven already.
- Other people "keep the Sabbath in Surplice," that is, would rather go to church to secure their place in Heaven when they die.
- In other words, the speaker is already in Heaven, while others only wish to be.
- In conclusion, the word "surplice" reinforces the difference between the natural things (garden, family) that the speaker holds dear and the rituals of the church.
